Managed Service Provider (MSP) for Temporary Staffing Services

Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is soliciting proposals under RFP 27-07 for a Managed Service Provider to implement an enterprise-wide temporary staffing solution. The selected MSP will be responsible for managing staffing vendors, standardizing operational processes, enhancing spend visibility, and improving service delivery across three primary categories: non-clinical/professional staffing (approximately 40 FTEs annually), locum tenens/allied health (approximately 6 FTEs annually), and executive and faculty interim placement and search services (approximately 3 FTEs annually). The contract term is seven years, and the award will be based on a comprehensive evaluation of proposals rather than the lowest bid. Roswell Park reserves the right to award a single contract for all services, make partial awards, or issue multiple awards. The MSP must provide vendor-neutral oversight, including requisition intake, candidate tracking, rate benchmarking, and credentialing coordination. Key compliance requirements include adherence to HIPAA, New York State procurement laws, and strict Equal Employment Opportunity standards. Vendors must certify they have no business operations in Russia per Executive Order 16 and ensure all personnel are screened against federal and state exclusion lists. Proposals are due by October 27, 2026, and must include a detailed pricing matrix, a sample certificate of insurance, and various certifications, including a non-collusion affidavit and a bidder disclosure form. Final award is contingent upon mutual agreement on the terms and conditions of the Temporary Staffing Agreement.
